Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
I have also read not to start out in second gear. I have at times though, until I found that out. Has anyone else done this and caused damage?A few possibility's come to mind.
1: Its been swapped (I wouldnt want an A2 with a four speed non overdrive
2: The owner considers it a 4 speed with a "Granny low" (More likely)
3: The owner is simply mistaken
If the owner thinks its a 4 speed with granny low, then you need to be warry. These trans do not to be started in second, it can and will damage the shaft. (From what I have read, no first hand experience)
The first thing that will happen is the second gear key-way will shear, the gear then spins on its shaft, and welds itself back on. (And you would have no idea) The next time it breaks the whole entire shaft breaks into two pieces.
I'd like to see literature showing a four speed in gas Reo's AND a picture of the trans. ..........
